If I had to describe the food from Cambodia in two words:"Fresh and Fragrant"
I discovered yesterday a Cambodian restaurant near Camden Road Station called "Lemon grass".I can be wrong, but, I think it is the only one in London, this cuisine is not well known as Thai, is a gem yet to shine.
I had Lok Luk Steak,a classic Khmer peasant dish made with onions and crushed black pepper,doesn't taste any like Thai,accompanied with a Mango Salad,a delicious sweet and sour flavor(Mango,coriander,onion,shredded carrots, pickled cucumber dressed with fresh lemon and cayenne pepper this salad will make your taste buds tingle!
The portions are not big,I had room to try another specialty Phnom Penh Chicken:Chicken cubs,onion,carrot,basil,red and green pepper,all stir fried with chili sauce(loads of then)
Highly Recommended!

Interesting... It's funny that Thai food is now very familiar, and there are Thai restaurants all over London, and to a lesser extent the same is true of Vietnamese food (e.g. Kingsland Rd in south Hackney) but I'd never heard of a Cambodian restaurant! It makes me wonder whether there are any Burmese or Laotian restaurants in London/UK... (posted by Jonathan)
